Speed Dating is ideal for you if you lead a busy life, and want to meet new people in a fun, safe environment. To find out what Speed Dating itself is all about, see our What is Speed Dating?
How does the whole thing work?
It's an opportunity to meet and date 15-20 people your age, who are serious about wanting to be in a relationship. You will date each person for four minutes, giving you the opportunity to decide if you may want to see that person again.
Is four minutes per date long enough?
Four minutes turns out to be the perfect amount of time. Four minutes is short enough to leave your date wanting more if they are interested and four minutes is also not too long if the other person turns out to be a disaster for you.
We want you to have a fun, but also, ultimately a successful evening. At Slow Dating, we don't want to rush you. We feel that three minutes is too short a time with all the moving between tables and the note taking. We strongly believe that four minutes is the right amount of time to decide whether you're prepared to invest more time in follow up emails and phone calls to land a real date with someone you meet at one of our events. Four minutes per date also enables you to meet 15-20 dates in one night without getting completely worn out.
What happens when I arrive at the event?
When you arrive you will be welcomed by our professional hosts, checked in and given a personalized numbered name badge and a pen and invited to have a drink at the bar. You will be made to feel comfortable. When everyone has arrived one of our organisers will do a short introductory welcoming speech, explain some of the logistics, explain how to use your Speeding Ticket and so on and reaffirm that we are here to make sure you have a good time.
What happens next?
Once the dating part of the evening starts, those with badge number one will sit at table number one, those with badge number two at table number two and so on. After four minutes, we ring a bell, the girls will stay seated and all the guys will move round one table. This continues (with a twenty minute half time break) until you have met everyone there.
Can I have their contact details?
Speed Dating works by putting people who match in touch with each other. If you have matched with someone, you will be able to contact them again. To protect everyone involved we will not forward anyone's details unless there is a match.
Do many people come on their own?
we make a point of ensuring our organizers will make sure you are comfortable if you do come alone. Don't be afraid to chat to other daters before the dating starts.
How long does each event last?
We do our best to keep the event running to schedule start 7pm and finish between 8:20 & date night will start from 8:30to 11:30pm
How should I dress for speed dating?
We do not operate a strict dress code, however we generally advise to dress 'Smart Casual'. This is not a fashion show - jeans and a smart top are fine, but above all - be yourself! . Wear what you are comfortable with but don't forget that first impressions count!
How strict are the age ranges?
Relatively strict. If the age range for example is 21-34 then you are going to be out of place if you are in your forties. However if you are 36, are young at heart and accept
